Ministry Endorsements

"GCF is a cutting edge ministry equipping Christian families to work together as a unit to be world ambassadors for Christ. This ministry is effective and deserving of your support as it sends families out to disciple other families on how to know Jesus and train their own children in the Lord."
~ Christopher J. Klicka, Senior Counsel, Home School Legal Defense Association, Gainesville, VA.

"The Bealls have a passion for the Lord, a passion for the family and a passion for the world. They have a heart for evangelism, beginning in their own living room and spreading over the neighbor's fence, into the community, and to the world."
~ Bev Duerksen, Mother, Pastor's Wife, First UMC, Artesia, New Mexico

"The family was the first institution established by our Creator, yet as Christians we often disciple our families poorly. Bernie and Linda Beall have a successful track record as godly parents and mentors, and I am glad to endorse their visionary ministry through Great Commission Families."
~ Pastor Gary Hicks, Brook Hill UMC, Frederick, Maryland

"As my wife observed godly practices in the Beall family, she was challenged to imitate what they were doing. They provided good 'peer pressure' for me to grow and change as a godly husband and father. I am looking forward to that 'peer pressure' impacting many more families to become "Great Commission Families."
~ Ji "Mark" (& Myung-suk “Michelle”) Oh, East Asia Missionary Receiving Coordinator, Campus Crusade for Christ Int’l (CCCI), Singapore

~ John Brown, Church Planter Pastor and Retired USN Officer, Keene, New Hampshire
